Smuggling the Tauchnftz Books.

It is popularity supposed that the baron's
continental series is read only by the travel
ing English, yet these form but small por-
ton of its public; it is exported everywhere,
except to England and English colonies. The
author himself, upon signing certain for
mula to satisfy the custom house, can pro-
cure as many copies as he pleases; but every
one else who imports copy into England
breaks the law. He also hurts the English
author, but, am sorry to say, this does not
weigh much with the English traveller, who
finds the Tauchnitz edition, he says, $50
handy"-so easy, he also means, to smuggle.
We have seen a whole library of Tauchnitz
editions-though not, of course, his own books
i'm publishers drawing room.
1t is the ladies, however, who are the great
est sinners in this way. A charming young
literary smuggler was bringing home with
her a Tauchnitz novel from Antwerp the
other day, and made acquaintance with an
agreeable stranger on the way, to whom she
confided her nefarious intention. At London
bridge he reciprocated her frankness by in
forming her that he was custom house Off
Ger, and demanding that the volume should
be given up "But 1 have not finished it yet, y
she murmured pleadingly. "Where have you
got toan he inquired. She pointed with her
taper finger Gently taking the book from
the fair contrabandist, he tore away what
she had read and threw it III the river, re-
turning the portion that was so precious to
her with the customary bow. This was a
man with some notion Of duty; but l am
afraid such crimes are only too often wlnked
at.-Cornhill Magazine.

When John Sherman was secretary Of the
treasury the orphan daughter Of an army
officer applied for a situation. There was
none FOR her-nothing that she could do. But
she persisted. She knew there was plenty
she could do, and the secretary was at loss
by what pretext he could dismiss her. She
surveyed him from head to foot, and observ-
ing that his boots were not well shined re-
marked with much earnestness, "Mr. Sher-
man, think there is something l can do for
you, if you will permit me, and that is to give
your boots a first class shine. My case is
more desperate than you imagine, and will
accept position as departmental bootblack."

Queer Use for the Dar1ings.


A farmer named August Pirch, who lives
near Garvanzo, is the happy possessor Of
dozen fine, healthy children. These young
sters grow fast, eat three or four hearty
meals a day, and the way they wear out
clothes is enough to make wooden factory

been in hot water with his little fishes for
years, and was about to give up in despair
when a bright idea struck him. He had
tract Of land that could not be used for the
want of water. But how to irrigate the land
without spending large sum Of money was
a mystery. A ditch would cost thousands Of
dollars, but corner lots have not been so plen-
tiful in the Pirch family as the happy father
could have wished, and his handbook simply
showed balance Of few hundreds instead
of thousands He figured On the cost Of
well and found that he could stand sixty
foot well, cheap pump and one OF those
great big family swings which are noticed at
pleasure gardens and German picnic grounds.
The well was bored. the pump was set up and
the swing was put in working order.
Here, you little rascal.," said the elder
Pirch to his little fishes, come out hero and
get in this swing. I'm going 10 give you

children were flying back ard forth through

A Novel Athletic Contest.

Mr. Maurice Bernhardt, the son Of the
tragedienne, was the hero of novel athletic
contest the other night. La savatte is saw
age French sport that would not be tolerated
among the most brutal Anglo-Saxon classes.
It is combination of boxing and purring,
which latter is an old English game Of shin
kicking. But the aim in la savatte is not to
merely bruise your opponents legs Its chief
end is to assail him where no boxer is allowed
to under the rules-that is, under the belt. A
more Indignantly savage and diabolically
brutal show cannot be seen. Bull fighting Is
picturesque and cruel. La savatte is simply
indecently fiendish. Slugging with the bare
fists is a gentle and noble art beside it. ]

some results of it that curdled my philosophic

Aside from its incompdr2ole song ana
its bright. vivacious ways. the hooking
bird is of great value to those who own
orchards or vineyards. No bird, ii we ex-
cept the cat bird. is so great q destroyer
of the insects, grubs and Larvae that infest
orange, pear. pecan and peach trees, and
whoever has observed closely viii admit
that no scuppernong vine should be with
out its hooking bird to defend it from its
enemies. When you suffer the hooking
birds to be destroyed you permit the doom
of fruit growing to be sealed on the gulf
coast.
Twenty years ago the apple, peach and
pear crops of Indiana were supernatural
ant: now they are scarcely of any value in
a general way; the secret is largely in the
destruction of insectivurous birds. In In
diana. ss on the gulf coast, the climate
has had to bear all the blame, while the
cheap shotgun, the net and the snare have
been doing the work; still the truth re-
mains that it is no colder now IN one place
or the other than it was forty years ago,
when fruit trees fourished IN Indiana and
when the orange trees were loaded every
year all round the gulf eoast.-Maurice
